THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

THROUGH NEW ENGLAND 



CHE SEAMEN STATES TOUE offers the motor tourist who 
wishes to explore tlie choicest parts of New England 
within the limited space of two weeks an itinerary which 
cannot be equalled for uniformally good roads, excellent 
hotels and charming scenery. 

It not only unites all of these requisites in rare degree, but 
has the added attraction of covering a country richly imbued 
with an interest begotten of association with the most poignantly 
moving events in our early colonial life. 

Not only have the night stops been selected with infinite care, 
taking into consideration perfectly practical day runs as well as 
the character of the hotels designated, but a convenient luncheon 
stop is provided each day. 

The total distance of the tour, as outlined on the accompany- 
ing map, is one thousand and two miles and divides very nicely 
into eleven running days. For those who have more time at their 
disposal it presents a trip for a vacation of three or four weeks, 
allowing sufficient opportunity for thoroughly enjoying all the 
delightful detours and resting points in the White and Green 
Mountains and the Berkshire Hills. 

The circuit as shown on the accompanying map may be taken 
up at New York, Boston, Mass., New Haven, Conn., New London, 
Conn., Providence, E. I., Portsmouth, N. H., Bretton Woods, Bur- 
lington, Vt., Manchester, Vt., Stockbridge, Mass., and it is easily 
reached from Philadelphia, Pa., at Ellenville, N. Y., or at New 
York; from Portland, Me., at North Conway, N. H., and from 
Buffalo and Albany at Manchester or Stockbridge. It is also very 
accessible for motorists starting from either Hartford, Conn., 
Springfield or Worcester, Mass., and Concord, N. H., as well as 
scores of small places in eastern New York, Connecticut, Massachu- 
setts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Travelers from Can- 
ada will find Burling-fon, Vt., the best point at which to join the 
tour. 

Assuming New York City as a starting point the route 
leads through Yonkers, Dobbs Ferry and AATiite Plains, crossing 
the lower part of Westchester County, N. Y., from the Hudson to 
Long Island Sound. Many historic villages are passed on the first 
day, and the tourist spends his first night beneath the classic 
shades of Yale University at New Haven. 

[3] 



THE S E YEN STATES T Q U R 

Continuing along the shore^ the road runs through New Lon- 
don, where it crosses the Thames, battle-"ground" of the Yale 
and Harvard eights. Soon the State line is crossed and the tourist 
finds himself in Ehode Island, which boasts a higher percentage 
of improved roads tlian any other commonwealth in the Union. 
Narragansett Pier, the far famed summer resort, makes an ideal 
stop for the second night. 

From Narragansett Pier the route turns inland along the 
shore of the bay of the same name. There are many charming 
country places in this section and a visit to Newport, summer 
home par excellence of fashionable America, makes a pleasurable 
feature of the itinerary. Passing through Providence, the route 
runs to Boston through the district memorable as having witnessed 
the early struggle of the Puritan colony to establish a foothold in 
the bleak and inhospitable new world. Many historic towns and 
scenes are visited on the way to Boston, which is of course, the 
night stop. Amid the innumerable interesting landmarks of the 
great Pilgrim city, it is possible that the tourist may want to spend 
more than the allotted space. 

From Boston, the route runs northward along the most charm- 
ingly picturesque portion of the New England seacoast, passing 
through a score of fishing towns, whose fleets have brought deserved 
renown to this branch of our merchant marine. The Gloucester 
fishing fleet has been immortalized by Kipling in "Captains 
Courageous,^' his capital tale of the Grand Banks. After a day 
spent in the keen salt air, the tourist is ready for a good night's 
rest when Portsmouth, N. H., is reached. 

At Portsmouth the route leaves the coast and runs north- 
ward into the White Mountains, North Conway, in the wonder- 
fully lovely Intervales being the night stop. The scenery grows 
more rugged and impressive as the tourist proceeds on this day's 
run and by the time North Conway is reached the towering peaks 
of the Presidential Eange hang like a heavy blue cloud on the 
northern horizon. 

From North Conway the road bears north and west through 
the very heart of the White Mountains. Passing through the beau- 
tiful Crawford Notch, and lunching at Bretton Woods, in the 
shadow of magnificent Mount Washington, the tourist spends the 
day in the company of the august peaks of the Presidential Range, 
the apex of the White Mountains. In the afternoon the tourist 
visits the wonderful Flume, stops for a glimpse of the fantastic 

[4] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

"'Old Man of the j\Iountains," and proceeds through Franconia 
Notch to Maplcwood, where the night stop is made. The run for 
this da}' is purposely made short in order that the motorist may 
have time to loiter amid scenery that is unsurpassed for grandeur 
in this part of the country. 

From Maplewood the route continues westward through the 
northern spur ranges of the White Mountains, and at Littleton 
enters the exquisitely lovely sweep of the Coos A'^alley, the moun- 
tain ringed paradise which the Indians anciently considered the 
fairest portion of New England. Crossing the Connecticut Elver 
into Yermont, the road traverses the northern section of the Green 
Mountains, a wild and lovely ride over a good dirt highway. Pass- 
ing under the shadow of Mount Mansfield, second peak of the 
Green range, the route now sweeps out upon the broad plain that 
forms the basin of Lake C^iamplain, and proceeds to Burlington 
on the shore of the lake. 

From Burlington the road turns south along the "coast," 
with wonderful views of the distant Adirondacks on the other 
shore and of the Green ]\Iountains to the east across the fertile 
plain. Leaving the lake shore, the route turns inland through the 
outlying spurs of the Green Mountains, down the green valleys, 
and along the shores of many lakes to Manchester. 

From Manchester the route continues southward, through 
historic Bennington, and Williamstown with its delightful collegiate 
atmosphere, and at North Adams sweeps into the full glory of the 
wonderful Berk^iire A^alley. Southward through Pittsfield, Lenox, 
Stockbridge, the thrice lovely resort in the heart of the Berk- 
shires, it runs, leaving the valley by way of Great Barrington and 
South Egremont. From this latter place the road strikes south 
and westerly for the Hudson Yalley. The Hudson River is crossed 
to Kingston, where the l)lue cloud of the distant Catskills looms to 
the west and north. The tourist now traverses a lovely country 
of rolling hills, the dying convolutions of the Catskill range, to 
Ellenville, the last night stop. 

From Ellenville the route goes southward through the rich 
dairy lands of Orange County, following the fair Walkill and War- 
wick Valleys into the famed Eamapo Hills. Continuing past 
Tuxedo Park, with its fashionable colony, the motorist returns to 
New York through the fertile Jersey farmlands that were once the 
market gardens of Dutch Manhattan.

THE S E V E N STATES TOUR 

NEW YORK TO NEW HAVEN 

FIRST DAY— 82.5 Miles. 

Via 

Yonkers, White Plains, Greenwich (Luncheon Stop), 

and the Long Island Sound. 

BROADWAY is followed to Yonkers, and from there the Albany- 
Post Road to Dobb's Ferry. This historic highway, built more 
than 300 years ago, was called by the settlers of New Amster- 
dam "The Queen's Road," and is closely interwoven with the his- 
tory of the Colonial period. 

After crossing the ship canal, or Harlem River (221st Street 
and Broadway), the traveler passes on the left the General McComb 
house, built by the hero of the land battle at Plattsburg in 1814, 
On the right is a wide vale, running many miles up through the 
hills of Westchester and known as the Vale of Yonkers. Van Court- 
land Park occupies the southern portion of this vale, and in the 
center of the park one of the famous Van Courtland mansions still 
stands, excellently preserved. 





H the A\ estihester Hill!. 



The City Hall at Yonkers, was remodeled from the original 
Philipse Manor House. Here the Lord of the Manor lived in regal 
style, maintaining more than 100 servants and swaying an absolute 
monarchy over practically everything on the east side of the river 
between Spuyten Duyvil and Croton. His vast property was finally 
sequestrated by the government at the close of the Revolution, and 
Col. Philipse with his family, including Mary, who is reputed to 
have refused the hand of George Washington, moved to Chester in 
England, where it still flourishes. , 

[6] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

Dobb's Ferry is a beautiful little residential place and has been 
the home of many well known New Yorkers. Robert G. Ingersoll 
lived and died and is buried here. Washington had a head- 
quarters here in 1781. In the Livingston homestead, still standing 
at Dobb's Ferry, General Washington and General Sir Guy Carlton 
met and signed the treaty of peace between England and her late 
colonies. 

Turning away from the Hudson River at Dobb's Ferry, the 
route runs to Ardsley, crosses the little Saw Mill River Valley, a 
continuation of the Vale of Yonkers, and follows it to Elmsdorf, 
where it makes a direct turn toward the Sound, passing through 
White Plains. All this country was traversed time and again dur- 
ing Revolutionary days by Washington, Lafayette, Rochambeau, 
Clinton, the Howes, and the other heroes of the great struggle. Prior 
to that it was the scene of many Indian battles beween the Dutch 
settlers and the Westchester tribes. Washington was defeated at 
White Plains, on October 28th, 1776 by Howe, and retreated toward 
Croton. 

Leaving White Plains the route follows for a short distance the 
valley of the Mamaroneck River. At Portchester it turns sharply 
left and runs along the Boston Post Road to Greenwich and Coscob. 
Greenwich was settled in 1640, and contains numerous fine old 
homes. General Israel Putnam lived here, and his cottage, contain- 
ing relics, may be seen. "Put's" Hill is here, and the stone steps 
down which the General rode his white horse to escape from the 
British. 




Edgre^vood Inn, Greenwich, Conn. 



At Mianus the route crosses the upper portion of the Coscob 
Harbor and runs to Stamford, settled in 1640 by English from 
Wethersfield. From Stamford to Bridgeport many beautiful sum- 
mer residences are passed, and there are delightful views of Long 
Island Sound. The Housatonic River is crossed at Stamford. At 
Darien is the little brick church where Reverend Moses Mather was 
captured by the British. Norwalk is located on land purchased by 
Roger Ludlow in 1640, from the Indians. Bridgeport, now an im- 
portant manufacturing city for ammunition, sewing machines, 
motors, tools, etc., is at the mouth of the Pequonock River. It is 
the winter home of "the Greatest Show on Earth" and contains 
many magnificent parks. There are monuments to P. T. Barnum, 
the late showman, and Elias Howe, the sewing machine inventor. 

[7] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

Milford, established in 1644, and originally a part of New 
Haven Colony, was first called Wepowaug, from an Indian settle- 
ment. The Treat Memorial Bridge crosses the Wepowaug River 
here. 




Hotel Taft, New Haven 



The "City of Elms" should not be passed through too quickly, 
as there are a score of interesting and historic points to be seen, 
including the buildings and grounds of Yale College. The Hotel 
Taft in New Haven stands at George and Meadow Streets on the 
site of a famous old tavern which was the scene of a memorable 
reception to General Washington, in 178 6. On West Rock is 
"Judges' Cave," the hiding place of the regicides. Farnum drive 
up East Rock makes an excellent side trip. 

[8]

NEW HAVEN TO NARRAGANSETT PIER 

SECOND DAY— 97 Miles. 

Via 

Old Lyme, New London (Luncheon), and Westerly. 

This is a magnificent drive, partly along the coast, with a suc- 
cession of fine marine views. 

Guilford, seventeen miles from New Haven, is an interesting 
old town, in which an hour or so may be profitably spent. It was 




D^vlglit and Aliiinui Halls, Ne^v Haven, Conn. 



settled by the English colonists in 1639, and still contains some of 
the original buildings, one of which is now a museum. Pitz-Green 
Halleck, the poet, was born and resided here. Old Saybrook, near 
the mouth of the Connecticut River, is another ancient English 




The Griswold, New London, Conn, 

settlement, dating from 1635. It was named in honor of Lord Say 
and Lord Brook, and was held against an invasion of the Man- 
hattan Dutch by John Winthrop, son of Governor Winthrop, and 

[9] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

twenty Englishmen. Yale University was first founded at Saybrook, 
and a granite boulder suitably inscribed now marks the site of the 
original log building. The Connecticut River is crossed at Say- 
brook to Old Lyme over a fine new bridge. The route now turns 



-«^ 





New London, Conn. 

away from the shore to Roger Lake, and crosses the Niantic River 
at Flanders Village, whence it runs, by way of Manetock Hill, to 
New London, settled in 1648. Benedict Arnold was born here, and 
on September 6, 1781, with Colonel Eyre, plundered and burned the 
town. On the Thames at New London is the historic course, over 
which the annual Yale-Harvard boat race, is rowed. 




The Matthewson, Narragansett Pier, R. I. 

Leaving New London the route crosses the Thames River and 
runs to Mystic, where it crosses the Mystic River and hugs the 
shore of the Sound to Stonington, thence to Westerly, where it 
crosses the Pawcatuck River and runs along the shore to Charles- 
town, Perrysville and Wakeville. From the latter place it turns to 
Narragansett Pier, the famous resort on Narragansett Bay. One of 

[10] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

the attractive features near Narragansett is the Heights, rising in 
varied colors from the sea to a height of more than 400 feet. Nar- 
ragansett is a very old settlement, having been established in 1675, 
and was the scene of many bitter battles between the colonists and 
Indians. On one occasion General Winslow, commanding about 
1,000 colonists, captured some 600 Indians and killed about 300 
more. Narragansett has been an ultra fashionable summer resort 
for years. There are fine drives to Point Judith Light, the Rhode 
Island Agricultural College and Spouting Rock, one of the natural 
beauties of the sea-coast. At Point Judith there is a country club, 
whose polo field is one of the finest in America. Many important 
matches are played here during the Summer, and the Point Judith 
team ranks with the leading fours of this country. 

NARRAGANSETT PIER TO BOSTON 

THIRD DAY— 82.5 Miles. 

Via 
Providence (Luncheon) North Attleboro and Dedham. 

Leaving Narragansett Pier, the route follows the Shore Drive, 
passing Little Neck and running along Boston Neck. A ferry is 
taken from Saunderstown to Conanicut Island, which is crossed to 
Jamestown and another ferry taken to Newport, the most fashion- 
able colony in America, and dating from 1639, when it was settled 
by Wm. Coddington, a religious refugee from Boston. "The New- 
port Mercury" (1758) claims to be the oldest newspaper in the 
United States. In 17 70, Newport was second commercially to 
Boston. 

Golden Ball Inn, now the Mansion House, still standing in 
Newport, was a scene of a ball given to Lafayette in 1784. General 
Washington stopped there in 1790, when he was making his tri- 
umphal tour of New England. Count de Rochambeau's troops landed 
here in 1780, after being blocked for a long time by the English. 
The city was captured by the British December 8, 1776. There 
is an ancient stone tower here which has proved a hard nut for 
historians to crack; some regard it as a Scandinavian structure of 
great antiquity, and others as a windmill built by the early colo- 
nists of Rhode Island. The question as to who built it will probably 
never be satisfactorily settled. There are many magnificent 
"cottages" at Newport, owned by wealthy society folk of New 
York and other cities. 

Leaving Newport, the run is to Bristol Ferry, a short ferry 
landing near the Bristol Light. The Columbia, Reliance, and other 
famous yachts were launched from the Herreshoff Ship Yards at 
Bristol. 

From Bristol the route goes to Warren and across the Warren 
and Barrington Rivers to Barrington. 

It was at Warren that William Barton captured General 
Robert Prescott, who had been annoying the colonists of Rhode 

nn

Island. Congress voted Barton a sword, and he lived to a ripe old 
age on this one act of bravery. From Barrington the route runs 
through Riverside, and at Fort Hill crosses the Seekonk River to 
Providence, which was founded by Roger Williams in 1631. It was 
in Providence that a general Congress of the United States was 
first .proposed on May 17, 17 7 4, thus distinguishing Rhode Island 
as making the initial move for the formation of our present govern- 
ment. 




Kutraiice to tlie Hotel I'liritsm, Boston, >Isis.s. 

From Providence the run is a direct one through Pawtucket 
to North Attleboro and Walpole, Mass. At Pawtucket, on the 
Blackstone River, still stands the mill where Samuel Slater intro- 
duced (1790) the manufacture of cotton into Rhode Island. 

From Walpole the route goes to Dedham, one of the oldest 
towns in Massachusetts, having been founded in 1635. Dedham is 
also credited with having established the first public school in 
America to be supported by tax, 1664. It was originally called 
"Contentment," and lies between the Charles and Newport Rivers, 
connected by "Mother Brook," the oldest (1639) canal in the 
United States. There are many ancient houses here, including the 
Jonathan Fairbanks homestead (1650), owned by the "Fairbanks 
Family in America." A fine road from Dedham leads to the Metro- 
politan Park System and into Boston, where the tourist must be 
largely left to guide his own sightseeing. Some travelers from a 
great distance often think that there is little in Boston aside from 
pie and baked beans, but it is, of course, one of the most historic of 
American cities, and at least the following places should be seen: 
Faneuil Hall, "the Cradle of Liberty;" Griffin's Wharf, where the 
Boston Tea Party occurred; Old North Church, from whose steeple 
flamed Paul Revere's signal light; the Old State House; Boston Com- 
mon, which John Winthrop laid out, and, crossing over to Charles- 
town, the Bunker Hill monument and the scenes immortalized on 
that momentous day in 1775. 

[12] 



T HE S E \^ K N S T A T J^: S T () LI R 

BOSTON, MASS., TO NEWCASTLE 

FOURTH DAY— 103.5 Miles. 
Via 

Salem, Magnolia (Luncheon), Gloucester and Salisbury, 

N. H. 

From Boston we run through Cambridge and Somerville, over 
the Mystic River, througli Everett, Chelsea, Revere, and along 
Revere Beach. 

Of course the crowning glory of Cambridge is Harvard, and the 
historic "yard" with its magnificent buildings is worth an hour of 
the tourist's time. In 163 6 the General Court of Massachusetts 
Bay Colony, appropriated $2,000 to found a school at Cambridge. 
This school later became Harvard College, and is now Harvard Uni- 
versity. At the corner of Mason and Garden Streets stands the 
venerable elm, under whose spreading boughs George Washington 
took command of the American Army, July 3rd, 1775. Here is 
also "Craigie House," Washington's headquarters in 1775-6. This 
house later became the home of Longfellow, which gives it a double 
interest. On Elm Avenue is "Elmwood," the birth-place and life- 
long home of James Russell Lowell. 

Even Somerville is filled with history. There is the old pow- 
der mill seized by the British (1774); Prospect Hill, where the first 
thirteen stripe American flag was unfurled before the stars and 
stripes had replaced the crosses of Saints George and Andrew. 




Oeeanside House, Magnolia, Mass. 

Revere Beach is Boston's Coney Island. Running along the 
Coast the road enters Lynn, one of the greatest shoe manufacturing 
cities of the world. Near Lynn is High Rock, under the shadow of 
which Moll Pitcher lived. 

From Lynn the route runs to Swampscott, Forest River and 
Salem, which is in every mind mysteriously associated with witch- 
craft. Here may be seen the old Witch House at Essex and North 

[131 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

streets. Salem is also the birthplace of several noted Americans, 
including General Isaac Putnam, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Nathaniel 
Bowdick, a mathematician, William H. Prescott, the historian and 
Judge Joseph H. Choate, the diplomatist. Leaving Salem, the tourist 
passes over Beverly Harbor, through Beverly, the summer home 
of President Taft, and along the Atlantic Coast to Magnolia and 
Gloucester. 

Gloucester is a picturesque fishing village, from which place 
a loop is made around Cape Ann, to Rockport, on Sandy Bay. 

There are several places worthy of a visit on this island, includ- 
ing Dogtown Commons, where during the last of the 18th century 
about 100 families exiled themselves and lived in poverty among the 
boulder strewn hills; from their numerous dogs the place took its 
name. There is also on this island Doctor's Run, the Headlands 
and the Straitsmouth Life Saving Station at Gap Cove. From 
Rockport the tourist runs around Sandy Bay and the extreme point 
of the island, and returns to Gloucester by way of Annisquam. 
Returning to the mainland, the run is along the coast to Ipswich, 




Hotel Wemtworth, Newcastle, N. H. 

known as the place of many inns. Several volumes have been 
written about the ancient inns of Ipswich. It was in this place 
that Lydia Wardwell, a rather unconventional Puritan maiden, was 
tied to a post near the inn and given thirty lashes for walking 
nude into a holy meeting place. Ipswich still retains a great deal of 
its early picturesqueness. The next place of any size is Newburyport. 
The first suspension bridge built in America was erected here in 
1792. George Whitefield, the famous Methodist divine, is buried 
in the Old South Church yard, and William Lloyd Garrison, the 
noted abolitionist, was born in Newburyport. The place was set- 
tled in 1635, and is noted now as a boot and shoe manufacturing 
center. Like Ipswich, there were many taverns in Newburyport 
in the olden days, and Washington and Lafayette were nothing

loath to tarry in them when passing this way. Leaving Newbury- 

port, the tourist crosses the Merrimac River and runs through 

Salisbury, where it turns directly along the Ocean Drive through 

Hampton Beach, where Whittier lived, and Little Boar Head to 

Straw Point and Newcastle. 

NEWCASTLE TO NORTH CONWAY, N. H. 

FIFTH DAY— 87 Miles. 

Via 
Wakefield, Ossipee (Luncheon), and Chocorua. 

From Newcastle we run through Portsmouth, associated with 
John Paul Jones, who boarded here in the Purcell House while 
awaiting the completion of the "America." Fort William and Mary 
was located in Portmouth Harbor, and the Privateer "Hancock" 
took the British "Reward" into this port when she was captured 
in August, 1776. Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the editor, was born here, 
and the scenes of his "Story of a Bad Boy" are laid in the quaint 
old city. Portsmouth was also the scene of the Japanese-Russian 
Treaty Convention. From Portmouth the route runs along the bank 
of the Piscataqua River to Dover Point and Dover, where may be 
seen the Falls of Cocheco.

On the Way to North Conway, N. H. 

One of the most destructive and sanguinary Indian wars of 
colonial New Hampshire started at Dover under circumstances that 
point to the fact that the Redskins were not always without provo- 
cation in these conflicts. Two drunken soldiers from the fort at 
Dover one day found an Indian woman and her tiny baby in the 
woods nearby. An argument arose between the white men as to 
whether a native baby was endowed from birth with the ability 
or instinct to swim. To settle the question they tore the baby from 
the shrieking mother and flung it into the river, where of course it 
was drowned. Within an hour the Indians were attacking the fort, 
and before the war ended many white settlers all over the State 
were killed. We regret to say that history does not record among 
the dead the names of the two soldiers responsible for the trouble. 
At Dover, too. Major Waldron, the hero of the great Falls Fight in 
Massachusetts, was killed by Indians in 1759. 

[15] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

This is one of the oldest cities in the State, having been set- 
tled in 1623. It was destroyed by the Indians in 1689. Several 
educational institutions are located here. From Dover to Rochester, 
N. H., the route runs through a pretty, rolling country until it 
meets and follows the Salmon Falls River to Three Ponds. Roches- 
ter is on the Salmon Falls River and is an important shoe and 
woolen manufacturing center. From Rochester to Ossipee Lake is 
practically a straight run through a country full of pretty lakes, 
including the beautiful Chocorua, nestling under the protection of 
Chocorua Mountain, 3,5 00 feet high. i 

There is an Indian legend of this grim old hill which is pictur- \ 
esque enough to be worth re-telling. Before the coming of the ' 
whites, the chief, Chocorua, ruled a mighty nation which inhabited 
these lovely valleys. None was there to dispute their sovereignty, i 
none to break their peace. Then came the white men, pressing up I 
the fertile valleys, slowly but surely driving the Indians before j

them. At last came the final act of the drama. The Indians, de- 
spoiled of their ancestral lands, were forced to depart from the 
smiling valleys that they loved to seek another home in the north- 
ern wilderness. Chocorua was an old, old man now; the bare 
thought of exile broke his heart, and wrapping himself in his 
blanket, he departed alone up into the mountain which bears his 
name to die. But ere he left he cursed the land he loved, which 
had been taken from him and his people by an alien race, and be- 
sought the Great Spirit to see that they who had taken the land by 
fraud should never enjoy the fruits of their crime. And the credu- 
lous denizens of the valley will today tell you that they can never 
keep a cow after the second year in any land on which falls the 
shadow of Chocorua Mountain. 

The road runs near Ossipee Lake for a short distance, and 
then continues, winding around these little bodies of water to North 
Conway, at the foot of Mount Kearsarge,

NORTH CONWAY, N. H., TO MAPLEWOOD 

SIXTH DAY— 66.5 Miles. 

Via 

Crawford Notch, Bretton Woods (Luncheon), and Fran- 

conia Notch.

appealed so strongly to two sentimental lovers that they climbed 
to the pinnacle, dragging a dominie with them, and were married 
on this dizzy height. From here the tourist gets a glorious view

ticularly good, and in the height of the season are overhung with 
a luxurious foliage, which sometimes almost obscures the pictures 
of the distant hills. From Bartlett the road winds along the Saco 
River. Whittier, who knew and loved this glorious mountain 
country, in his ballad of Mary Garvia describes this river:

the neighboring editors into a state of uncontrollable editorial 
venom. The mountains rise abruptly on either side of the road, 
V hich is rugged and picturesque but not difficult. Before reach- 
ing the Notch the road passes the famous Willey Farm, where in 
1826 the Willey family was buried by a mountain landslide. 

The Notch is about twenty-six miles from North Conway, and 
after passing through it the view is dominated by Mt. Washing- 
ton, which is about five miles beyond. Nearly everyone visiting

this section ascends Mt. Washington on the inclined road. Here one 
is really above the clouds which usually float beneath the summit 
of this giant ridge. 

The White Mountains cover about 1,300 square miles in sev- 
eral ranges. Mt. Washington is 6,286 ft. high, and is the best 
known peak of what is called the Presidential Range. Others are 
Mt. Adams, 5,819 ft., Mt. Jefferson, 5,746 ft., and Mt. Madison, 
5,396 ft. 

Leaving Bretton Woods, the tourist should allow ample time for 
loitering through this magnificent country, at least until Fran- 
conia Notch is reached. The route runs from Bretton Woods past 
the Twin Mountain and Profile Houses to the Flume. Nearby is 
Profile Mountain (4,107 ft.). Eagle Cliff and Echo Lake. The "Old 
Man of the Mountain," the profile of an aged man, seen here is 
mentioned by Nathaniel Hawthorne in "The Great Stone Face." 

While at the Flume the tourist should see the Cascade, the 
Pool and the Basin, three points presenting unusual natural 
phenomena. From this point the route is retraced past the Profile 
House through Franconia Notch to Bethlehem and Maplewood.

THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

MAPLEWOOD TO BURLINGTON 
SEVENTH DAY— 102 Miles. 

Via 
St. Johnsbury, Montpelier (Luncheon), and Bolton. 

Returning from Maplewood to Bethlehem, the road runs to 
Littleton, N. H., which is located in the wonderfully beautiful 
Coos country, a section noted for its scenic beauty and cool svim- 
mer climate. From here the tourist goes to Waterford, crossing 
the Connecticut River, and turns Northward to St. Johnsbury, Vt., 
which is situated on the Passumpsic River, and is the home of the 
well known Fairbanks Scales Works. From St. Johnsbury to Bur- 




On the Road to Bethlehem^ 

lington there are two routes. One of these leaves the route here 
shown at Danville and runs through Hyde Park, Johnson and Cam- 
bridge, Vt. The route given here runs southward from Danville 
and follows more or less closely the Molly's River and a branch 
of the Winooski River to Montpelier, Vt., the capital of the State 
and the home of Admiral George Dewey. There is a heroic statue 
here of Ethan Allen, and it is believed to be the only true likeness 
of him in existence. 

From Montpelier the road turns north through Waterbury and 
Bolton, into an extremely rugged country, the northern end of the 
Green Mountains, but over good roads. This section has been

Scene near Burlington (Old Mill Brook) 

Burlington, on the shores of Lake Champlain, the end of the 
seventh day's run, is the largest city in Vermont, and was settled 
in 1773. It saw a great deal of the early Indian fighting, being

frequently attacked by the Iroquois. Colonel Ethan Allen is buried 
here. There is an excellent view from the campus of the University 
of Vermont, of a broad and fertile plain which stretches to the foot 
of the Green Mountains, while on the other side lies the gleaming

expanse of Lake Champlain, crowned by the distant Adirondacks, 
Port Ethan Allen is only five miles from Burlington. It has a parade 
ground of fifty acres, a fine shooting range, and excellent quarters 
for the officers and men.

BURLINGTON TO MANCHESTER 

EIGHTH DAY— 110.5 Miles. 

Via 

Brooksville, Hyde Manor (Luncheon), and Pawlet. 

The first part of this run is down the edge of Lake Champlain 
to Shelbourne, where is passed the Seward Webb stock farm, one of 
the most notable estates of the sort in the country. From Shel- 
bourne the road continues to Jones Hill, passing between this emi- 
nence and Pease Mountain, to Ferrisburg and Vergennes. In the 
distance on the left rises the Hogback and South Mountains. At 
Middlebury the route is a little nearer this range, and at Cornwall 
passes a very large cedar swamp. After leaving Hyde Manor it runs 
between Burr and Horton Ponds. It also passes between Keeler 

[22]

and Beebee Ponds, and at Hubbardtown touched the upper end of 
Bomoseen Lake, which it follows to Bomoseen. This country is 
exceedingly hilly, but the road keeps pretty well to the lowlands, 
giving the traveller fine views of the hills in the distance. At

Castleton Corners the road turns sharply toward the lower extremity 
of Bomoseen Lake and goes to Hydeville and Fairhaven, where it

delightful, and the whole district has grown to be the rendezvous 
for many wealthy families, who maintain large country places. For 
the golfer, the fisher and the hunliei?,! these green hills afford unend- 
ing attraction. . . 



[24] 



THE SEVEN STATES IM) U R 

MANCHESTER TO STOCKBRIDGE 

NINTH DAY— 76.5 Miles. 

Via 

Bennington, Williamstown (Luncheon), and Pittsfield. 

The route now follows through a country abounding in creeks, 
which flow down from the surrounding peaks. At Shaftsbury, West 
Mountain (2,4 00 ft.) lies to the right. At Bennington we cross the 
Walloomsac River, and skirt around Mt. Anthony and Carpenter 
Hill to Pownal Center. 




The Grey lock, Williamstown, Mass. 

It was at Bennington that Ethan Allen and the Green Moun- 
tain Boys met in the Catamount Tavern and planned the capture 
of Ticonderoga. A monument in the shape of a stone catamount 
now marks the site of this historic hostelry. The town takes its 
name from Governor Bennington Wentworth, and the battle of Ben- 
nington was one of the earliest patriot successes of the Revolu- 
tionary War (August, 1777). The English were severely handled, 
while the American loss was small. A monument 408 feet high 
commemorating the fight. It is one of the tallest battle shafts in 
the world and stands at Bennington Center. 

At Pownal the route parallels the Hoosic River, which it crosses 
before reaching Williamstown. Leaving Williamstown for North 
Adams we begin to see the glorious Berkshire Hills in all their 
grace, Mt. Graylock (3,5 05 ft.j and many minor peaks of the Berk- 
shire Hills rise on the right. North Adams is on the Hoosic River. 
Fort Massachusetts, captured by the French and Indians (174 6) 
may be seen in the western part of the city. Hudson Brook and 
Natural Bridge are two points of interest in North Adams, which is 
in one of the prettiest sections of the Berkshires. 

[25] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

Leaving North Adams, the route continues down the Hoosic 
Valley to Cheshire, and then follows the edge of the Pittsfield Reser- 
voirs to Pittsfield, on the Housatonic River, noted as a summer 
residential center. The Berkshire Valley at this point is 1,000 feet 
above the level of the sea and well sheltered by hills. Passing from 
Pittsfield, the route goes to Lenox, another famous and exclusive 
summer resort. Between Lenox and Stockbridge it runs between 
Rattlesnake Hill and Laurel Lake. Stockbridge, on the Housatonic, 
was once an Indian Village, and when the town was incorporated 
in 1779 those few aborigines remaining were given full citizenship, 
but wearying of their civic diginities and responsibilities, they 
afterward moved West. There are many handsome summer homes 
here and all through the surrounding country, which is famous for 
its scenery.

Red Liion Inn, Stockbridge 



Many noted men and women, principally literary folk, have 
lived in the Berkshire Valley, drawn thither by the fame of its 
scenery. Henry Ward Beecher had a summer home in Stockbridge, 
and Fanny Kemble, the mistress of tragedy, lived here and loved 
the beautiful valley. Hawthorne wrote the "House of Seven 
Gables" in an old farm house which stands on a tiny lake midway 
between Stockbridge and Lenox. Whittier and Longfellow were 
casual residents of Pittsfield, and the old house which sheltered "the 
clock upon the stairs" is still standing there. Bryant was, of 
course, more than a casual resident of the valley, as he lived there 
for many years. All of these men have left us pictures of Berk- 
shire scenery, which only falls short of the glorious original because 
of the impossibility of catching in cold words the rich beauty of 
these wonderful hills, clothed in the warmth of their radiant forests 
and bathed in the golden glory of the sun filled crystal atmosphere. 

[26] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 

STOCKBRIDGE TO ELLENVILLE 
TENTH DAY— 87 Miles. 

Via 
Pine Plains, Kingston (Luncheon), and Kerhonksen. 

From Stockbridge the road runs between Monument Mountain 
and Three Mile Hill and crosses the Housatonic River to Great Bar- 
rington, where William Cullen Bryant was once town clerk. Many 
of his poems were suggested by scenes in the neighborhood. From 
here the route crosses the valley to South Egremont and Hillsdale, 
and then passes through a beautiful country with low rolling hills 
and numerous lakes, to Pine Plains, N. Y. Leaving Pine Plains, 




n the Catskills 



the road skirts around Mt. Stissing to Lafayette and then continues 
to Rock City and Rhinebeck-on-the-Hudson. At this place is 
located "Ferncliff," the Astor country place, one of the most notable 
estates in America. A ferry is taken from Rhinecliff to Kingston 
across the Hudson. Kingston is full of ancient houses, including 
Tenbroeck House, where the first Constitution of the State of New 
York was adopted in 1777. This city was burned by the British 
under General Vaughan in 1778. From Kingston the route runs 
down the Esopus Creek Valley to Marbletown and Accord, meeting 
the valley of Roundout Creek, which is followed to Ellenville, at 
the foot of the Shawangunk Mountains. 

At Ellenville there is located the Sun-Ray Spring, one of the 
most remarkable in this country. The story of the finding of the 
Sun-Ray Spring is romantic enough to be worth recounting. 

All these mountain valleys in New York have their legends of 
hidden treasure, usually some lost vein of gold or silver in the 

[27] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 



neighboring mountains. Generally these legends tell of some 
wandering Indian or vagabond character of the Rip Van Winkle 
type, who was wont to disappear periodically only to return laden 
with nuggets of virgin metal and hold high revel in the local tavern. 
The legend which existed in Ellenville related to a wonderful never 
failing spring which was hidden in a lost mining shaft that had 
been driven far into the mountain by some early prospectors when 
New York was still a royal province. 

In 1905 a diligent search was instituted for this long lost 
spring. The smaller surface streams in the valley were traced to 
their sources at the base of the mountain, and at last the lost tunnel 
was located. Loose stones and earth were removed and the opening 
was shored up with timbers until it was discovered that the tunnel 




1.3 



On the Road to Hackensaek 

was roofed by the living rock. The work of cleaning out the shaft 
proceeded apace and at the end of a passage 515 feet under the base 
of the mountain, in a little circular chamber, was found the wonder- 
ful Sun-Ray Spring. The tunnel is six feet high and four feet 
across and has a rise of seven feet in its course from the spring to 
the open air. It is one of nature's romances that through countless 
ages this pellucid spring, thrice purified in the earth's mysterious 
laboratory, has bubbled forth in the darkness of eternal night its 
crystal stream "like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear." 

Today a track is laid through the tunnel, which is lighted by 
numberless electric bulbs. The tourist can embark in a tiny car 
and make the trip back into the heart of the mountain to see this 
romantic spring, whose waters are carried forth into the world out- 
side and bottled for the delectation of people in every part of the 
country. 



[1'8] 



T II E S EVEN STATES TOUR 

ELLENVILLE TO NEW YORK CITY 

ELEVENTH DAY— 105 Miles. 

Via 

Goshen, Warwick (Luncheon), and Hackensack. 

The last day's run is from Ellenville down the valley of Sand- 
bury Creek with the Shawangunk Mountains rising on the left. At 
Cuddebackville the Naversink River is touched, but immediately 
left, and the road turns eastward to Middletown, crossing the Wal- 
kill River to Goshen. Middletown is in the famous Orange County 
dairy section and the city is about midway between the Hudson 
and the Delaware Rivers. It was on the route which the pioneers 
took to the West, and is noted now as a manufacturing center for 
shirts and saws. At Goshen the route winds toward the Walkill 




riie AVay.side Inn, Kllenville, N. Y. 



Valley for a short distance, and then runs near Glenniere Lake and 
on to Warwick, called the "Queen Village of the Empire State" and 
situated in the southern portion of Orange County, amid fine dairy 
farms stocked with Holsteins and Dutch Belt cattle. The village 
is at the eastern end of the beautiful Warwick Valley and from it 
an endless variety of choice and romantic drives may be had. The 
view to the eastward reveals Mt. Peter, from the crest of which 
one may look down upon Greenwood Lake, seven miles away. Far 
to the northward Mt. Adam and Mt. Eve push up their cone shaped 
crests. 

A few miles to the westward the valley is lost in the New 
Jersey hills, and the Blue Mountains of the Vernon Valley con- 
tribute to the making of a peaceful scene. Between Warwick and 
Tuxedo the road crosses the Bellvale Mountain near the head of 
Greenwood Lake, which it touches, and runs to the head of Tuxedo 
Lake then turns southeastward past Tuxedo Park, the exclusive resi-

dential colony and hunting preserve established by the late Pierre 
Lorillard. We now follow the line of the Ramapo River to Sloats- 
burg, Ramapo and Suffern. The Ramapo Mountains are crossed 




The Hotel Vanderbilt 
Park Avenue and 34th Street, New York City 



between Tuxedo and Suffern, and the route runs through a mag- 
nificent farming country to Hackensack. 

It is interesting to remember that this pretty little city, founded 
by the Dutch as one of the first outposts in the fertile Jersey farm- 
ing country, was intimately identified with the events of the early 

[30] 



THE SEVEN STATES TOUR 



part of the Revolution. After Washington had been defeated at 
Brooklyn and driven out of New York, he started on his desperate 
"retreat across the Jerseys." His first halting place was Hacken- 
sack, and here he tarried for three weeks, getting his pitiful little 
band of less than three thousand able bodied men in condition for 
the arduous campaign ahead of them. When Washington's army 
finally abandoned the village, the front of the advancing British 
army immediately filed across the bridge and into the town. 




Red Swan Inn, Warwick, N. Y. 

From Hackensack the road continues over the conventional 
route to Fort Lee and back to Manhattan by the Fort Lee Ferry. 

In the course of our thousand miles of travel, it has been our 
privilege to pass through sections of historic New England, which 
are only to be equaled for scenic attraction, by the most famous 
parts of Europe. For the man who believes in seeing his own 
country first, the Seven States Tour offers an unanswerable argu- 
ment.
